[0002] With the development of smart home appliances, air conditioners, as a common household appliance, are gradually becoming intelligent. Currently, smart air conditioners generally have functions such as remote control via a mobile app, including switching on / off and temperature adjustment. However, this simply migrates the control method from the remote control to the app. Existing air conditioner control methods have limitations. Users can only visually determine the airflow angle, making it difficult to achieve directional, comfortable airflow to specific areas. Furthermore, there is a lack of intuitive control feedback, often requiring multiple adjustments to find the appropriate airflow setting. These adjustments are also necessary when user needs change or the location is moved, resulting in low efficiency and impacting user experience and comfort. Therefore, the challenge lies in improving the efficiency of air conditioner control.

[0025] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a control method for an intelligent air conditioner is provided. This control method for an intelligent air conditioner is widely used in application scenarios such as software development.

[0027] This embodiment provides a control method for an intelligent air conditioner. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a control method for an intelligent air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application. The process includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S202: Determine the instruction control mode selected by the target object from the preset control mode of the smart air conditioner, wherein the instruction control mode is used to indicate the generation method of the control instruction of the smart air conditioner;

[0029] Step S204: Generate control instructions based on the instruction control mode and the operation behavior of the target object on the visual interactive interface, wherein the visual interactive interface includes at least a floor plan of the space where the smart air conditioner is located.

[0030] Optionally, in step S204 above, the visual interactive interface can be the control page of a smart home APP on a mobile device, and the floor plan can be a three-dimensional floor plan or a two-dimensional floor plan. In the floor plan, users can intuitively select air conditioning equipment through touch, swipe and other operations, and set control parameters such as the air blowing direction of the air conditioner to generate control commands by clicking or drawing.

[0031] Step S206: Send the control command to the smart air conditioner to control the smart air conditioner to adjust the air supply parameters.

[0032] Optionally, in step S206 above, for example, after the APP receives the user's operation command, it generates an air conditioning control command and converts it into a digital signal, which is then sent to the control module of the smart air conditioner via a wireless network to control and adjust the air supply parameters of the air conditioner.

[0033] Through the above steps, the target object selects the command control mode from the preset control modes of the smart air conditioner. This command control mode indicates how the control commands of the smart air conditioner are generated. Control commands are generated based on the command control mode and the target object's operational behavior on the visual interactive interface, which includes at least a floor plan of the space where the smart air conditioner is located. The control commands are then sent to the smart air conditioner to adjust its airflow parameters. Using this technical solution, users can select different command control methods and intuitively perform control operations through the floor plan on the visual interactive interface to generate corresponding control commands. These commands are then sent to the smart air conditioner for precise control, solving the problem of improving air conditioner control efficiency and thus achieving the effect of improving air conditioner control efficiency.

[0034] In one exemplary embodiment, generating control instructions based on the instruction control mode and the target object's operational behavior on the visual interactive interface includes: generating a first control instruction via an indicator arrow corresponding to the operational behavior when the instruction control mode is determined to be a first instruction control mode; generating a second control instruction via a wind path corresponding to the operational behavior when the instruction control mode is determined to be a second instruction control mode; and generating a third control instruction via a target area corresponding to the operational behavior when the instruction control mode is determined to be a third instruction control mode.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, generating a first control command via an indicator arrow corresponding to the operation includes: when the operation is determined to be a sliding operation, obtaining the start position and end position of the sliding operation; determining the indicator arrow based on the start position and the end position, wherein the direction of the indicator arrow indicates the direction from the start position to the end position, and the length of the indicator arrow is determined based on the distance between the start position and the end position; generating a first control command based on a first angle, wherein the first control command is used to control the smart air conditioner to deliver air at the first angle, and the first angle is the angle formed between the direction of the indicator arrow and a preset direction.

[0036] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the first command control mode adjusts the air conditioner's airflow angle by using an arrow drawn by the user, where the direction of the arrow indicates the airflow direction. The specific process is as follows: the user draws an arrow by sliding, and then adjusts its position by dragging, pointing the arrow in the desired direction shown on the floor plan. Alternatively, an initial arrow can be set on the interactive interface, and the user can adjust its position by dragging. The initial arrow's position can be set to match the current airflow angle of the smart air conditioner. The APP captures the user's gestures through a touch event listener, recording the arrow's start and end positions. Based on the arrow's start and end positions, the APP calculates the user's desired airflow direction angle. It should be noted that the airflow angle refers to the angle between the arrow's direction and a preset direction, which can be either perpendicular to the ground or parallel to the ground.

[0037] The angle is calculated using the formula: Angle = arctan(ΔxΔy), where Δx and Δy represent the horizontal and vertical displacements of the arrow, respectively. The calculated angle information is converted into a control signal and sent to the air conditioner's direction control module via a wireless network. The control signal includes the angle value and a device identifier, ensuring the air conditioner can accurately identify and execute the corresponding airflow direction adjustment.

[0038] In one exemplary embodiment, generating a second control command based on the wind direction path corresponding to the operation includes: when it is determined that the operation is a sliding operation, obtaining a sliding trajectory; fitting the sliding trajectory according to a curve fitting algorithm to generate the wind direction path; determining the target wind speed of the smart air conditioner based on the curvature of the wind direction path, and determining the target direction of the smart air conditioner based on the tangent direction of the wind direction path; generating a second control command based on the target wind speed and the target direction, wherein the second control command is used to control the air supply speed of the smart air conditioner to be the target wind speed, and to control the air supply direction of the smart air conditioner to be the target direction.

[0039] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the second command control mode adjusts the air conditioning's air delivery parameters based on the user-drawn airflow path. The user draws the desired airflow path on the floor plan, and the system converts the user's drawn path into a series of coordinate points using a path recognition algorithm (such as Bézier curve fitting). Based on the coordinate points, the system analyzes the flow direction and intensity changes of the airflow to generate control commands. The greater the curvature of the airflow path, the lower the wind speed; the smaller the curvature, the higher the wind speed. The tangent direction of the airflow path corresponds to the air delivery direction of the air conditioner. In the fitted curve corresponding to the airflow path, the curvature and tangent direction change. Mathematical calculations can derive the relationship between curvature and wind speed, as well as the relationship between tangent direction and air delivery direction. Therefore, in the generated control commands, the intelligent air conditioner should dynamically adjust the air delivery direction and wind speed over time to ensure that the air conditioner's airflow flows along the path set by the user.

[0040] In one exemplary embodiment, generating a third control instruction based on a target area corresponding to the operation includes: if the operation is determined to be a click operation, obtaining the click position corresponding to the click operation; determining the target area based on the area corresponding to the click position in the floor plan; and generating a third control instruction based on the center position of the target area, wherein the third control instruction is used to control the smart air conditioner to deliver air to the center position of the target area.

[0041] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the third control command is based on a specific area selected by the user (such as a sofa area, dining area, etc.). The APP captures the user's selection operation through an area selection event listener, identifies the target area selected by the user, and calculates the optimal airflow direction and speed based on the center point position and shape of the target area combined with the location of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the airflow parameters of the smart air conditioner for the target area can be determined based on the room's geometric layout, furniture obstacles, and the user's historical usage habits to ensure that the target area receives the best airflow effect.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, after sending the control command to the smart air conditioner to control the smart air conditioner to adjust the air supply, the method further includes: using fluid dynamics simulation software to simulate the airflow in the target space where the smart air conditioner is located, and obtaining the airflow trajectory of the target space; and displaying the airflow trajectory in a visual interactive interface floor plan in a visual manner.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, fluid dynamics simulation software is used to simulate airflow in the space where the smart air conditioner is located to obtain the airflow trajectory in the space where the smart air conditioner is located. This includes: adding a virtual appliance model to the three-dimensional virtual space corresponding to the floor plan to obtain a target virtual space, wherein the virtual appliance model includes at least a virtual air conditioner model; inputting airflow simulation parameters and spatial parameters corresponding to the target virtual space into the fluid dynamics simulation software, wherein the airflow simulation parameters are determined according to the air supply parameters of the smart air conditioner; and obtaining the airflow trajectory obtained by the fluid dynamics simulation software based on the airflow simulation parameters and the spatial parameters.

[0044] Optionally, in the above embodiments, before performing airflow simulation, virtual appliance models need to be added to the 3D virtual space corresponding to the floor plan. These appliance models include air conditioner models and furniture models. The purpose of these virtual models is to provide an environment similar to the actual room for fluid dynamics simulation. By adding these models to the virtual space, the airflow within the room can be simulated more accurately. The airflow simulation parameters are determined based on the air supply parameters of the smart air conditioner, such as wind speed, wind direction, and air outlet size. Spatial parameters include the room's size, shape, wall positions, door and window positions, and furniture layout.

[0045] Optionally, in the above embodiments, fluid dynamics simulation software such as ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM can be used to simulate the airflow. The simulation process includes the following steps:

[0046] Mesh generation: Dividing the target virtual space into multiple small units to enable accurate calculations.

[0047] Boundary condition settings: Define the airflow inlet (air conditioning outlet), outlet (room doors and windows), and other boundary conditions.

[0048] Solution: Solve the fluid dynamics equations using numerical methods to calculate the velocity field, pressure field, etc. of the airflow.

[0049] Generate airflow trajectories: Generate airflow trajectories based on the calculation results. These trajectories describe the flow path of airflow within the room.

[0050] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the simulated airflow trajectory is displayed visually on the floor plan of the mobile app. Users can intuitively understand the airflow distribution after the air conditioner delivers air by viewing the airflow trajectory. The visualization includes arrow animations, airflow trajectory lines, and color gradients. For example, lines represent the direction of airflow, arrows represent the speed and direction of airflow, and colors represent the speed or temperature distribution of airflow. Users can view the distribution of airflow in three-dimensional space by rotating and zooming. Through visualization, users can more intuitively evaluate the air conditioner's air delivery effect and further adjust the air conditioner's air delivery parameters as needed.

[0051] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the actual airflow status can also be monitored in real time using the wind speed sensor, temperature sensor, and direction sensor built into the smart air conditioner. The monitoring data is transmitted to a mobile app via a wireless network. The app compares the actual monitoring data with the simulation calculation results. If a deviation occurs, it automatically adjusts the simulation calculation parameters to ensure that the displayed effect is consistent with the actual airflow effect. Users can also manually adjust the display effect through the app. The app uses user feedback as correction parameters to further optimize the simulation calculation and visualization effects.

[0052] Through the above embodiments, users can intuitively adjust the air conditioner's airflow direction based on the room layout on their mobile phones. Compared with traditional control methods, users can more conveniently and quickly achieve precise control based on the floor plan, improving the ease of control, meeting users' needs for precise air delivery to specific areas, and enhancing users' comfort when using the air conditioner.

[0053] To better understand the process of the above-mentioned intelligent air conditioner control method, the implementation flow of the intelligent air conditioner control method will be described below in conjunction with optional embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the technical solution of the embodiments of this application.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a control method for an intelligent air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0055] 1. The user opens the smart home app on their mobile phone.

[0056] 2. The APP displays digital 2D or 3D floor plans on the interactive interface, showing the location of air conditioners.

[0057] The app loads 2D or 3D floor plans of users' homes, accurately marking information such as room walls, doors, windows, and furniture layout. The floor plans support zoning, allowing users to customize different areas within a room (such as living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc.) for convenient airflow adjustment in specific areas. Air conditioning equipment is presented as a virtual model on the floor plan, clearly indicating its installation location (e.g., wall-mounted, floor-standing units). The floor plan also displays the air conditioner's on / off status, airflow direction, temperature, and other parameters.

[0058] 3. Users select the air conditioning equipment and command control mode on the interactive interface, and generate air conditioning control commands by touching or swiping.

[0059] Optionally, in step 3, the user can quickly select the air conditioning device to be controlled by touching or clicking the air conditioning icon on the floor plan in the interactive interface. After selection, the air conditioning icon will be highlighted and a control panel will pop up, providing further operation options, including drawing arrows to generate control commands, drawing airflow paths to generate control commands, and selecting specific areas to generate control commands.

[0060] 4. The APP converts control commands into digital signals and sends them to the smart air conditioner via wireless network.

[0061] 5. The intelligent air conditioner adjusts the air supply parameters according to the control commands to supply air to the user.

[0062] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the user can also control the smart air conditioner by operating a remote control, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0063] 6. The user operates the remote control to perform directional control.

[0064] The remote control is equipped with high-precision orientation sensors (such as gyroscopes and accelerometers). By pointing the remote control in the desired airflow direction, the orientation sensors within the remote control acquire the remote control's spatial attitude and pointing angle information. Angle = arctan(ax, ay), where ax is the acceleration component of the remote control in the horizontal direction, and ay is the acceleration component of the remote control in the vertical direction.

[0065] 7. The remote control generates a pointing control command and sends it to the smart air conditioner.

[0066] The specific process of the remote control generating pointing control commands includes:

[0067] Coordinate system alignment: The pointing angle information obtained by the remote control's direction sensor is based on the remote control's own coordinate system, which needs to be converted into the room's global coordinate system. This conversion takes into account the remote control's current position, the air conditioner's position, and the room's geometry.

[0068] Angle mapping: Maps the pointing angle information of the remote control to the airflow direction range of the air conditioner. The mapping formula is: Airflow direction angle = Mapping function (remote control pointing angle), and the mapping function is pre-calibrated according to the room layout and the air conditioner installation location.

[0069] Signal transmission: The mapped airflow direction angle is converted into a control command and sent to the air conditioner's control module.

[0070] 8. The intelligent air conditioner adjusts the air supply parameters according to the directional control command to supply air to the user.

[0071] Through the above embodiments, this application achieves precise and convenient control of the air conditioning airflow direction by digitally integrating air conditioning equipment into 2D or 3D electronic floor plans and combining it with mobile APP operation and remote control pointing control. Users can not only intuitively select air conditioning equipment and set the airflow direction on the floor plan interface of the mobile APP, but also precisely control it in a specific direction in the actual room using the remote control. This meets users' needs for precise air delivery to specific areas and significantly improves the comfort of air conditioning use and the convenience of air conditioning control.

[0072] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of this application, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes several instructions to cause a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods of the various embodiments of this application.
